LA STORIA DELLE CERAMICHE DI SATSUMA
Antica tradizione dell’artigianato giapponese
Da sempre, una delle
tipologie più ricercate dai
collezionisti di ceramiche
antiche giapponesi è il
"Satsuma Vase" così
chiamato per il singolare
e caratteristico stile
decorativo, che può
essere sì un vaso,
un'urna, una giara o
un piatto, ma anche una
bottiglia o un'altro
elemento di arredo.
Questi capolavori di
maiolica, decorati con
stupefacenti immagini di
samurai o scene di vita e
di cultura giapponese,
sono ancora oggi tra i più
ricercati oggetti da
collezione.

SATSUMA: antico feudo del
Giappone situato nella penisola
omonima, nella parte più a
meridione dell'isola di Kyūshū.
Governato dal clan degli
Shimazu sin dal sec. XII,
accrebbe il proprio peso nel
periodo Tokugawa (16001868). Ebbe un ruolo di
primissimo piano nella
restaurazione Meiji, che nel
1868 abbatté lo shogunato e
rimise i poteri nelle mani
dell'imperatore. Molti dei suoi
migliori uomini tra cui Ōkubo
Toshimichi parteciparono al
nuovo governo che portò il
Giappone sulla via della
modernizzazione.
Nel 1877 fu teatro della
"ribellione di Satsuma (detta
anche "di Seinan"), condotta
dagli esponenti della nobiltà
che, guidati da Saigō Takamori, tentarono di opporsi alla
politica antifeudale condotta
dal nuovo governo Meiji.
Takamori riuscì a riunire un
esercito di 15.000 uomini,
che guidò verso Nord per
giungere a conquistare il
Paese. Dopo alcuni mesi di
aspri combattimenti, nel
settembre dello stesso anno
la rivolta fu definitivamente
domata, Takamori fu ucciso e
L’immagine della copertina è un
particolare ingrandito della scena
rappresentata sul frone del
bellissimo vaso di pagina 43.
l'ultimo tentativo di resistenza
antioccidentale ebbe termine.
Con il nome della provincia è
nota una ceramica prodotta in
passato nelle antiche fornaci
di Kagoshima.
Come si verificò per molte
delle manifatture ceramiche
giapponesi, sorte tra la fine
del XVI e l'inizio del XVIII secolo, anche quella di Satsuma
nacque a opera di vasai
coreani, condotti in quell'arcipelago dal principe Shimazu
Yoshihiro, di ritorno da una
spedizione in Corea nel 1598.
Le maestranze coreane
continuarono in Giappone i
sistemi di lavorazione del loro
Paese di origine, producendo
una ceramica prestigiosa, la
cui qualità si affermò e
perpetuò per ben due secoli:
la produzione iniziò a scadere
soltanto verso la seconda
metà dell'Ottocento, quando
si dovette soddisfare la
grande richiesta dei mercati
europei e americani.
Caratteristiche degli antichi e
autentici pezzi Satsuma sono
la pasta bianca con una
spediale invetriatura color
avorio e una decorazione
sobria a colori tenui
limitata in piccoli campi.
Nella seconda metà del
Settecento la decorazione a
smalti colorati si arricchì di
ornamenti trattati a doratura
che sottolineavano disegni di
paesaggi, fiori e uccelli.
In considerazione del fatto
che c'è stato un periodo di
produzione di massa di
questo tipo di ceramica e che
è stato copiato pesantemente
da tanti altri produttori per
soddisfare le richieste dei
mercati occidentali, ci sono
molti manufatti di ceramica
Satsuma sul mercato che
hanno le stesse immagini e le
caratteristiche dello stile di
Satsuma, ma che niente
hanno a che vedere con i
pregi stilistici e di qualità dei
pezzi originali.
Un vaso di Satsuma autentico
può essere il termine usato
per descrivere un pezzo di
ceramica in stile orientale che
ha caratteristiche precise.
Le decorazioni sono piccole e
molto complesse e di solito si
sviluppano su due facciate,
entrambe diverse nei
personaggi e nelle situazioni
con animali e scene di vita
sociale. Dopo che l'immagine
è stata dipinta a mano, il
vaso è stato poi ricoperto da
una sottile smalto protettivo
che crea un leggero effetto
screpolato, dando un altro dei
tratti caratteristici e distintivi
a questa ceramica.
Alcuni dei vasai hanno anche
fatto pesantemente uso di
colorazione oro nel loro
disegni che donano al vaso
un look speciale.
Spesso vendute in coppie con
le scene dipinte in maniera
tra loro speculare, alcuni dei
vasi Satsuma arrivano a
misurare fino a quasi un
metro di altezza, ma i vasi più
comuni sono di circa 30 cm.
di altezza, che corrisponde
alla misura inglese di 12”.
Questi vasi sono stati spesso
utilizzati per Ikebana, l'arte
giapponese di organizzazione
formale per la presentazione
del fiore.
In alcuni dei vasi Satsuma
può capitare in maniera
inaspettata di trovare anche
un coperchio che è insolito
per un oggetto che si può
pensare sia stato progettato
per contenere fiori o altre
piante, ma questi vasi sono
stati realizzati con uno scopo
puramente decorativo.
I disegni sulla superficie dei
vasi erano principalmente
creati in modo da poter
essere utilizzati per decorare
le residenze giapponese
piuttosto che essere elementi
di uso pratico.
Se siete interessati e state
cercando di acquistare un
vaso antico Satsuma, dovete
assicurarvi che sia in buone
condizioni di aspetto e senza
crepe o difetti.
A causa della età di alcuni di
questi vasi, non è sempre
possibile trovare e acquistare
pezzi completamente integri,
trovare un vaso che è molto
vecchio e anche in ottime
condizioni, non è un compito
facile. Inoltre, assicuratevi
che l'oggetto non abbia segni,
scritte o marchi in inglese che
lo identificano come prodotto
dalla Royal Satsuma, in
quanto già questo denoterebbe
che si tratta di un falso.
Nelle fotografie di queste
pagine sono illustrati gli abili
artigiani in alcuni momenti e fasi
di lavorazione delle ceramiche.
Japanese Satsuma earthenware
decorated in overglaze colors
was first made in the 1850s
production increased amatically
and during the Meiji period
(1868-1912).
SATSUMA: One of the most
collectible pieces of Satsuma
Pottery is the Japanese Satsuma Vase. These pieces of
earthenware pottery, decorated with amazing images or
scenes from Japanese culture
or society are highly collectible and sought after items.
Due to the fact that there was
a period of mass production
of this type of pottery and that
it was copied heavily by other
pottery makers during that
time, there are many styles of
Satsuma pottery on the market that may bear the images
and hallmarks of the Satsuma
style, buy may be from other
locations and time periods.
A Satsuma vase can be the
term used to describe an
oriental style piece of pottery
that has the following characteristics.
The images that are on the
surface of the pottery are very
small and intricate and will
usually feature either people,
places, animals, Japanese Immortals or scenes from Japan.
After the image was hand
painted, the vase was then
covered in a thin protective
glaze which cracked slightly
giving another of the satsuma
pottery hallmarks to look out
for. Some of the vases also
heavily use gold coloring in
their design which makes the
vase look extra special.
Another of the valuable and
more sought after vases are
the ones decorated with the
images of many people, also
known as the 1000 faces design. Often sold as a pair,
some of the Satsuma Vases
measure up to nearly a meter
tall, but the more common
style vase you will find will be
around 9 to 10 inches tall.
The vases were often used for
Ikebana, the art of formal Japanese flower arranging.
The majority of Satsuma
vases will have a lid too which
is unusual for an item which
we may think would be designed to hold flowers or other
plants, but these vases were
for purely decorative means.
Some of the other pottery
from the same region such as
a Satsuma Bowl also featured
a lid which some may think is
unusual.
The designs on the surface of
the vases were mainly created so that the pieces could
be used to decorate Japanese
residences rather than be
practical items.
If you are looking to purchase
an antique satsuma vase
then ensure that the item is in
good condition and has no
cracks or chips - or has a little
damage as possible.
Due to the age of some of
these pieces, it is not always
possible to buy items that
have no damage at all.
Finding a vase that is very old
and also in very good condition is not an easy task. Also,
ensure that the item has no
markings or identifying words
written in English such as
ROYAL SATSUMA, as this will
denote that the vase is a fake.

Lovely bulbous stem bottle with long cylindrical neck
Superbly executed in white porcelain bottle-shaped vase with

group of schoolchildren, and the other panel that shows
children playing in a garden.
Between the panels are medallions containing floral disc
